14 terms.

• Range breakoutBreakouts & sessionsA range breakout happens when price closes beyond the high or low of a sideways range, so a quiet market starts moving in one direction. Traders buy above the top or sell below the bottom.
• Rate of changeOscillators & momentumThe rate of change (ROC) is a momentum oscillator. It shows how much price has moved over a set number of bars, as a percentage, and plots that figure above or below a zero line.
• Raw spreadBrokers, accounts & prop firmsRaw spread is the bid-ask gap on an account priced close to the broker's liquidity-provider feed, with little or no markup added. The broker earns mainly through a separate commission per lot instead.
• Raw spread accountBrokers, accounts & prop firmsA raw spread account is a trading account where the broker passes on the market's own bid-ask spread with little or no markup, and charges a separate fixed commission per lot traded instead.
• Real volumeVolume & order flowReal volume is the actual amount traded in a period, meaning the shares, contracts or lots that changed hands, as reported by an exchange. It is different from tick volume, which only counts how many times the price changed.
• Recovery factorExpert Advisors & automationRecovery factor is a trading system's net profit divided by its maximum drawdown. It shows how many times the strategy earned back its worst peak-to-low loss during the test period.
• RequoteForex basicsA requote is when your broker cannot fill your order at the price you clicked and offers you a new price instead. You can accept that price or cancel the order.
• Risk disclaimerForex basicsA risk disclaimer is a written warning from a broker, signal seller or trading educator. It says that trading leveraged products such as forex can lose you money, possibly your whole deposit, and that past results do not tell you what future results will be.
• Risk per tradeRisk & money managementRisk per trade is the part of your account you accept losing if a single trade hits its stop loss, set as a percentage of the account or as a fixed sum of money. You decide it before you enter, and it sets your position size.
• Risk-reward ratioRisk & money managementThe risk-reward ratio compares what you can lose on a trade (entry to stop loss) with what you aim to gain (entry to take profit). At 1:2 you risk 1 unit to aim for 2.
• RolloverForex basicsRollover is how a broker carries an open forex or CFD position past the daily cutoff into the next trading day. It credits or charges you the interest-rate gap between the two currencies, a nightly amount often called the swap.
• Round numbersSupply, demand & key levelsRound numbers are prices that end in zeros, such as 1.1400 on EURUSD or 150.00 on a yen pair. Traders cluster stops, targets and pending orders around them, so price often stalls, reverses or speeds up there.
• RSIOscillators & momentumRSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum line from 0 to 100 that compares the size of recent gains with recent losses. Traders use it to spot overbought and oversold moves and to see when momentum is fading.
• RSI 14Oscillators & momentumRSI 14 is the Relative Strength Index calculated over the last 14 candles. It compares average gains with average losses and plots the result as one line from 0 to 100, with 70 and 30 as the usual overbought and oversold marks.
